Steps
- Find the lease and its primary term. A lease still in its primary term needs no production.
- Find the wells on the leased land, and any unit designation that includes it.
- Pull the monthly production for those wells from the state's records.
- Read the lease's savings clauses for the periods it allows without production.
- Search the county records for releases, partial releases and new leases on the same land.
- If the lease has a retained acreage clause, check what part of the land it still covers.
